YEREVAN, JUNE 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Until 1990s, tall beatiful trees grew
in the center of the city of Ijevan and along the banks of the Aghstev
River, which gave a unique charm to this regional center of Tavush
marz. As NT correspondent reported from Tavush marz, over the past
ten years a lot of trees have been cut down mercilessly in order to
clear space for various facilities. "Deep pruning" of trees along
the highway, on the left bank of the river was done recently. The
huge trees were thrown into the river so that the flow will take them
away. The municipality has allocated areas for various "objects" on
the right bank, in the intervals between the trees. In the opinion of
local residents, the huge trees that "hamper" the newly-built shops
will dry up and die.
